How to - Tune Radio Frequencies using the IDC?

[richboy2307]

Press the TUN button to access the TUNE page of the IDC where you can select the desired COM 1/2 frequencies, along with the ADF 1/2 frequencies.

Simply use the number pad to type the desired frequency into the scratchpad (e.g 122.8). Then select the appropriate LSK (e.g. LSK L1 for COM 1 active frequency).

You can swap between the STBY and ACTIVE frequency by pressing the RECALL LSK (e.g. LSK L2 for swapping COM1 standby frequency in white to the active frequency in green).

 

To access the COM/ADF CONTROL page, ensure you have an empty scratch pad and then click the active COM/ADF frequency by selecting the appropriate LSK (e.g. LSK L1 for COM1 CONTROL page). 

Here you may define COM PRESETS by typing in the following format XXX.XXX/NAME (e.g. 121.5/GUARD) and then selecting the appropriate LSK (e.g. LSK L4 for COM PRESET #2). You may save up to 3 presets. 

To use a PRESET frequency, return to the TUN page and type into scratchpad PX (where X is the desired preset number, e.g. P2 for 121.500). The select the desired LSK (e.g. LSK L1 for Preset #2 of COM 1).
